Respiratory infections are common in sheep, especially young ones. If you can, it would be best to have a vet come out and take a look at him in person to make the best treatment recommendations. Different vets use different medications for respiratory issues in sheep, but personally I normally use either LA 200 or Nuflor as a more effective antibiotic for this issue. LA 200 may be available over the counter in your area, but you will need to have a vet come out and do an exam for Nuflor since it's prescription only.
